In Part I of All About Eyes, you created photorealistic iris texture using BCC Organic Strands in Adobe After Effects. Now it’s time to add some animation to your eye.

Led by Boris FX’s own Paul Ezzy (once again), Part II delves into mimicking realistic iris dilation using BCC Organic Strands, BCC Sphere, and parenting. Learn how to parent strand lengths with movement, use equations, and write scale expressions. Also, featuring handy shortcut commands and quick tips.

Watch it today.

If you couldn’t join us for last Thursday’s training event, featuring motion graphics expert John Dickinson of Motionworks, take an hour to improve your movie trailer graphic skills.

Using the gritty “End of Watch” trailer as your guide, John teaches you how to quickly grab the attention of your potential audience with BCC 8 and Adobe After Effects.

Highlights included: Integrating 3D text into a scene using textures & shadows, combining BCC Damaged TV with BCC Mosaic for an edgy look, and pairing BCC Lens Flare 3D with BCC Stage Light for realistic atmospherics. Plus 10 more BCC 8 filters!

Here’s what people are saying:

“Each webinar host always gives us a gift of his or her fundamental approach
to tackle a project. In this webinar, John Dickinson made a comment about creating several mask layers and using these layers as adjustments. Way too cool!”

The first in a 3-part series, Boris FX’s own Paul Ezzy dives into creating a photorealistic eye in Adobe After Effects. Using BCC Organic Strands as the focal point in Part I, Paul details how to create iris texture by manipulating organic noise, strands direction, gradients, the opacity graph, movement, and other individual control features. Plus, he’ll teach you how to further enhance your eye with blending techniques and the BCC Sphere effect to simulate realistic lighting.

If you’re tired of using stock images that don’t allow you full creative control, and want your next sci-fi, medical, horror, or nature project to be eye-popping (pun intended), Part I of All About Eyes provides a solid foundation.

“Using Boris FX is very simple. I do most of my editing with Adobe Premiere Pro, so we’ll use this for examples. Boris FX v10 is good for many things, but my favorite is transitions. Let’s say I want to do a heavily distorted circular wipe, with heavy lens distortion. In Premiere Pro I lay down the background shot on Video 1, then I add my foreground shot on Video 2. I go to Effects, select Boris FX 10 filter, and add it to my Video 2 clip…”
